Key legal question
Whether the false statements about pregnancy and abortion were arglistig under Art. 146 StGB
Extracted holding
The deception was arglistig because the complainant exploited the victim's special vulnerability and trust, making verification unreasonable in the circumstances.
Extracted reasoning
Although the facts were in principle verifiable, the victim's love-blindness, inexperience in relationships, and the relationship of trust meant the defendant could foresee that he would not demand proof. The victim's imprudence did not rise to the level that excludes fraud liability.
